Summer in Georgia: A Guide to Our Favorite June Traditions

A Tradition Baked in Time

Peach season is a fleeting, precious window. It’s those few weeks where the fruit is perfectly ripe, dripping with juice, and undeniably vibrant.

Those weeks anchor the best Southern memories. A golden, flaky pie waiting in the center of the table after a Sunday supper is a ritual that feels like home. For us, that tradition arrives every June in the form of our signature Georgia Peach Pie. We take pride in the fact that our pies are handcrafted right here in Georgia, using locally sourced peaches to ensure that every bite captures the authentic spirit of the state.

If you are wondering what food Georgia is most known for, the answer is undoubtedly the peach. It’s a staple of our state’s agricultural history and the centerpiece of any authentic Southern dessert menu.

Find a Taste of Home

We are so happy to have so many new faces in town this month, and we can’t wait to share a slice of genuine Southern hospitality with you. Whether you are a lifelong Georgian or just visiting, we have made it easy to get your fix. You can stop by any of our retail locations to pick up a fresh pie:

Buckhead: If you’re in town for the World Cup festivities at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, you’re in luck. Our Buckhead shop is just right down street, making it the perfect stop before or after you head downtown.

Gainesville, Alpharetta, and Vinings: You can also visit us at any of our neighborhood shops.

Nationwide Shipping: Can't make it to a shop? We ship our pies nationwide, so you can send a true taste of Georgia to friends or family anywhere in the country.

Pro-tip: If you’re exploring local culture on a Saturday morning, you can also find us sharing the season’s bounty at the Alpharetta Farmers Market.

The Secret to the Perfect Table

Hosting doesn’t have to be complicated to be memorable. Whether you’re hosting friends or just gathering the family, the best Southern tables are built on simple, high-quality ingredients.

Our founder, Amanda Wilbanks, believes that dessert should be a celebration. In her cookbook, Celebrating Life with Pie, she shares her philosophy on creating memories around the table. Her favorite way to serve Georgia Peach Pie? With a generous scoop of her signature 4-ingredient no-churn vanilla ice cream.

Celebrating the Season

When visitors ask what they should eat when visiting the Atlanta area in the summer, we always point them toward the seasonal harvest. A slice of peach pie is considered a "bucket list" experience for anyone traveling through the region in June.

At it's heart, Southern hospitality is about making guests feel genuinely welcome. It’s less about perfection and more about providing a relaxed, inviting environment with good food, shared traditions, and a place to rest.

Whether you’re in town for a few days or you've been here for a lifetime, come pull up a chair. We’ve got a slice of Georgia waiting for you.
